Val's T4/T5 compiled Guide(updates will be made)

[Faowin]

It's changed recently because of the extreme handicaps in T4. (I just was in a 36 proc vs 25 cap war.)

Procs send a force the size of cap's force to Omega to block, and then send the rest to Alpha. Unless ALL caps are at Omega, it either falls to proc, or is extremely delayed. And by the point that's taken, E2 and E3 are proc and they have DPS on mid. At that point, because procs have the advantage, if they build at all, they can just essentially throw their weight around taking bases/defending wherever cap goes, it takes a lot of focused effort from cap to counter handicaps like that.

I've been on both sides of like a fifteen player handicap, but the thing is that Caps have a huge advantage with the big players and that you have a lot of cooperation. And last time I logged you had a good force that focused mainly on throwing Procs off guard by stopping their push or taking HQ or a large base. Whereas Procs have their only advantage in hige numbers.
All in all, however, it goes down to leadership and each nation's ability to tackle obstacles. (But leadership doesn't go anywhere if people don't follow orders.

This is number one winner in wars. I've said time and time again that war is a team game. Even with OP players from t5, a well teamed group is still very effective. I've seen it many times over the years and changes and it still holds true.
